Thanks @Brian Evans, I appreciate the specific advice.

Those areas that we see as "rough" you'd be surprised just a few years ago how much more "rough" they were.That's the difference between the investor that sees an excellent return vs one that's just marginal.

What books would you recommend for small Multifamily properties specifically?

I haven't had much luck searching Bigger Pockets for this specific question.

Feel free to message me if you want to talk about specific areas on the east side (@Austin Davis probably knows more about the west side), or need recommendations on agents, lenders, etc. 

Your second call is to a real estate attourney bc again the nuance involved in filling out the forms is a pain in the *** + you need special legal sized paper with margins of a certain length - lol - I thought I had it all dialed in, brought it to the assessor's office (or whatever city, windowless room it was) and got pinged $85 for the wrong paper size. :) I am currently working on quit claiming our recent purchase into the LLC and after gathering most of the paperwork have just left a message with an attourney so I don't have to go through all those hoops again.
